Chicken Enchiladas Suizas image

I got this recipe years ago from a friend that got it from a friend. I have only given it out one time. I love cooking it for my friends and family. It does take time to make. but tastes great. They even taste better the next day. I usually double the whipping cream and chicken broth.

Time 1h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup chopped onion
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chile peppers
1 cup green salsa
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
4 teaspoons ground cumin
2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped
salt and ground black pepper to taste
12 (7 inch) flour tortillas
10 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 cup whipping cream
½ cup chicken broth

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a rapid boil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the boiling water; cover. Cook 15 to 20 minutes; drain and set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 10x15 baking dish.
  • Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper in the melted butter until just soft, 5 to 8 minutes; transfer to a large bowl. Add the chicken, Cheddar cheese, green chile peppers, salsa, cilantro, cumin, and chipotle peppers to the bowl. Season with salt and pepper; mix.
  • Place about 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture along the edge of a tortilla; roll tightly into a tube. Place the enchilada, seam-side down, into the prepared baking dish. Repeat until all the chicken mixture is used. Sprinkle Monterrey Jack cheese over the enchiladas. Whisk together the whipping cream and chicken broth in a small bowl; pour over the enchiladas. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in preheated oven 30 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking until cheese is completely melted, about 10 minutes.

I want to try this recipe, but I don't have any tomatillos. Can I use something else instead?

These enchiladas were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. I'll probably make them again with less chili powder next time.

I'm not a huge fan of enchiladas, but these were really good! The sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the chicken was cooked perfectly.

These enchiladas were a little bland for my taste. I think I would add more spices next time.
